durhambeer (525), Durham, USA Jun 25, 2008 Dark cola brown pour with relatively disappointing off white head. Should have poured more aggressively, I suppose. Aroma is like Spaten Munich but amped up... pretty distinctive malt character. Also brown sugar, caramel, some raisin notes. Palate and taste not as complex as hoped for, but very nice overall... toffee, malt, brown sugar, caramel... and many more synonyms for sweet. Seems like a good food beer, but not my fave.
apshah99 (91), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 5, 2008 Dark brown pour with frothy white head. Sweet malty aroma; sweet taste with roasted caramel malt, nice balanced bitter finish. Beerman6686 (780), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 Poured a dark amber/brown color with a small off white head. Aroma was very malty, some dark fruits in there and a bit grassy. Flavor was very malty, much like most german dopplebocks, nice caramel roastedness . danielcurtis81 (97), San Diego, California, USA Sep 19, 2008 Getting my old notebook online. Bottle. Dark redish tint, creamy looking head. Smell: Hint of sweetness, fruitiness. Taste: Fruity bitters, bitters go away a little leading to a bit of chocolaty tones about halfway through. Strong good beer! pacaus (42), Dublin, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 17, 2008 For a high alcohol beer it sure has a great taste. This beer is packed with tons of flavour with a sweet taste and smell of raisins. tedovertu (124), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Sep 16, 2008 Not as good as Celebrator but not bad by any means. Dark brown color with quickly diminishing head. Extremely well balanced. This is an extremely dangerous beer at 7.2%. Very enjoyable with it’s malty and balanced flavor.
